The Rise of the Black Plain

A few weeks after arriving in the Omega Solar System, Minos and his party had entered another universal wormhole through which they were currently traveling.",

Their current destination was the RK-56 Solar System, from where, according to the level 103 robot and the navigational instruments of the group's spaceship, they could travel directly to The Adamant Land.

Once they finished this journey through the space tunnel they were traveling in, they would be less than 10 days away from the planet now controlled by Irpoll.

At this moment, the group was concentrating on the remaining 12 weeks of travel ahead of them, some of them cultivating, others planning their future actions.

Ruth was in seclusion, searching for level 101, something difficult to achieve in this area of the universe, but still possible. Meanwhile, the robot was controlling the ship, something easy for him who was at level 103 and knew many of the ship's technologies.

Minos stood next to the Spiritual World native, who had reached level 103 before they arrived at Nemo Colony, and talked about his plans and prospects.

Minos looked at the man beside him and said. "We must assume the worst has happened. Maybe our companions and family members have already died, or they're hiding in Spatial Kingdoms. Either way, it's likely that we won't find any trace of them once we reach the Spiritual World."

"Do you really think so?" The level 103 Sovereign asked, worried.

"According to the natives behind the civilization that lent us our spaceship, it's very possible that the Irpoll monkeys were successful.

About 14 or 15 years have passed since the beginning of the War of the Worlds. So, at most, the Spiritual World produced Callie as a God, and probably no one else. It would be impossible for them to survive the war with the Mechanic Empire and then against Irpoll without some kind of rest in between," Minos said, looking at his companion with a serious expression.

They realized how much time had passed since the beginning of the Mechanic Empire's weakening. Considering the war had been brutal for both sides at the beginning, and that Abby and Gloria were unlikely to risk their medicines, it was unlikely that they had created several Gods with their Divine Medicines.

The problem was giving up the few level 99 warriors from the Spiritual World to let them cultivate for a decade or more. Could the forces of such a world afford to lose several of them in anticipation of their breakthroughs?

Even if Abby and Gloria had gone that way—Minos didn't think they had—it was possible that none of these new Gods had appeared until recently.

Either way, the forces of the Spiritual World would suffer, which led him to believe the situation of the native forces of his world was not promising.

At best, his world would resist Irpoll, and at worst, it was all over for the ancient civilization of the Spiritual World.

The Spatial Kingdoms were supposed to be the last hope of the natives of his planet, as they were regions of space that were difficult to invade, even by Gods.

Even if more than one God worked together against the barriers of one of these areas, the natives should have at least a few months of protection before they faced the end.

This gave Minos some hope, even in the face of his most pessimistic thoughts.

"In that case, our current journey will be more about revenge than liberation," the level 103 Sovereign commented in a deep tone, hoping this wouldn't be the case, but considering this scenario as the most likely.

"Yes. The beginning of our revenge will be against the Irpoll forces, who are probably in The Adamant Land. When we arrive in the old world of the Mechanic Empire, you will all stay on this ship and wait for my signal. I will invade the planet and eliminate the strongest Irpoll there.

Then we'll leave you and the robot behind to destroy every living thing on the planet. Whether they belong to the old Mechanic Empire or to the Irpoll, we won't spare any of them.

The others and I will go to the Spiritual World through the universal wormhole that connects The Adamant Land and our planets," Minos said, explaining what he had been thinking for days since he discovered the latest situation in the War of the Worlds.

"Will I stay behind?"

"You and the robot will clean up The Adamant Land and secure our route to Irpoll in the future. After I've eliminated all the aliens in the Spiritual World, we'll go to Irpoll to exterminate the ape race," Minos said, his fists clenched and his tone as dark as ever.

Now he looked a few years older, but much crueler than he had been after Isabella's death.

This time he didn't want to kill only those responsible for the catastrophic situation of his world. His bloodlust was running high, and he didn't intend to stop as long as there were survivors of the civilizations that had caused all the problems his world had faced after his departure.

The level 103 Sovereign could sense Minos' hatred for those civilizations and didn't go against his superior's intentions. "All right."

"We must also monitor the aliens who rebelled against the forces of the Mechanic Empire years ago. They originally acted to regain dominance over their worlds, but we can't be sure that they won't become greedy with the disappearance of Irpoll and the Mechanic Empire, as well as the weakening of the Spiritual World," Minos said, anticipating the movements of his world's potential adversaries once he had completed his journey of vengeance.

"Before I leave for Irpoll, I will send each of you to dominate these civilizations on my behalf."

"Okay. How long will it take us to do that?" The young-looking man with black hair, beard and mustache asked.

"Just as long as it takes to travel from one world to another. The robot should have a better idea of that. Anyway, I intend to solve everything in only two years.That will only be about 8 years for those on Zocarro."

They had already done all the calculations to understand the difference in the passage of time between this place and Zocarro. So they knew that one year there was about 4 years on Zocarro.

It was no wonder that their nearly five decades outside this area of the universe had only lasted a few years for the civilizations of the Spiritual World and The Adamant Land.

Thinking about how long Minos intended to stay in this weakened area of the universe, the man concluded that they could return to a powerful part of the universe in the equivalent of 20 years for their companions on Zocarro.

This wasn't ideal, and Maximillian would probably be at level 106 by the time they returned. But it wasn't a frightening statistic to make him think they were going to waste their time there.

Most importantly, they could use this time to get their revenge and complete their connection to the Spiritual World before finally turning their attention to their journey to Zocarro!
